Gill's Notes on the Bible
As it is written,.... In Psalms 112:9 where it is said of the good and righteous man,
he hath dispersed ×××× ××, "his riches", his substance, as the Chaldee paraphrase adds by way of explanation; not in a profuse extravagant manner, but with wisdom and prudence, and yet largely and liberally, according to his ability. Just as the sower scatters his seed here, and there, and in every place, with an open and wide hand, to the good man distributes to all in necessity, and makes them all partakers of his bounty; he gives not only to one, but to many, and not to all without distinction he meets with, whether necessitous or not:
he hath given to the poor. This explains the former phrase, and points out the persons, the objects of the good man's bounty and compassion:
his righteousness remaineth for ever. This is not to be understood of his justifying righteousness, as if that consisted of, and was established upon his works of bounty and charity to the poor; nor of his fame among men on account of his liberality; nor of any reward in another world; but of his beneficence itself, it being common with the Jews to call alms צ×ק×, "righteousness":
Psalms 112:9- : and the sense is, that what such a man bestows in charity on the poor shall not be lost, but shall be like the seed cast into the earth, shall spring up again, and bring forth fruit with increase, according to what follows.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
As it is written - Psalms 112:9. The idea is, âin this way will the saying in the Scriptures be verified, or the promise confirmed.â The psalmist is describing the character of the righteous man. One of his characteristics, he says, is, that he has scattered abroad, he has given liberally to the poor. On such a man a blessing is pronounced Psalms 112:1; and one of the blessings will be that he shall be prospered. Some difficulty has been felt by commentators to see how the quotation here made sustains the position of Paul that the liberal man would be blessed of God, and would receive an increase according to his liberality. In order to this, they have supposed (see Doddridge, Bloomfield, and Clarke) that the word ârighteousnessâ means the same as almsgiving, or that âhe would always have something to bestow.â But I would suggest that perhaps Paul quoted this, as quotations are frequently made in the Scriptures, where a passage was familiar. He quotes only a part of the passage, meaning that the whole passage confirms the point under consideration. Thus, the whole passage in the psalm is, âHe hath dispersed; he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth forever; his horn shall be exalted with honor;â that is, he shall be abundantly blessed with prosperity and with the favor of God. Thus, the entire promise sustains the position of Paul, that the liberal man would be abundantly blessed. The phrase âhe hath dispersedâ ÎÌÏκοÌÏÏιÏεν Eskorpisen, may refer either to the act of sowing, as a man scatters seed on the earth; or there may be an allusion to the oriental custom of scattering money among an assembled company of paupers; compare Proverbs 11:24.
His righteousness - His deeds of beneficence.
Remaineth - In its fruits and consequences; that is, either in its effects on others, or on himself. It may mean that the sums so distributed will remain with him forever inasmuch as he will be supplied with all that is needful to enable him to do good to others. This interpretation accords with the connection.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Corinthians 9:9. He hath dispersed abroad — Here is still the allusion to the sower. He sows much; not at home merely, or among those with whom he is acquainted, but abroad-among the strangers, whether of his own or of another nation. The quotation is taken from Psalms 112:9.
He hath given to the poor — This is the interpretation of he hath scattered abroad; and therefore it is said, his righteousness remaineth for ever-his good work is had in remembrance before God. By righteousness we have already seen that the Jews understand almsgiving. Matthew 6:1; Matthew 6:1.
